Dynamic REST

Dynamic API extensions for Django REST Framework

See http://dynamic-rest.readthedocs.org for full documentation.

Overview

Dynamic REST (or DREST) extends the popular Django REST Framework <https://django-rest-framework.org>__ (or DRF) with API features that empower simple RESTful APIs with the flexibility of a graph query language.

DREST classes can be used as a drop-in replacement for DRF classes, which offer the following features on top of the standard DRF kit:

• Linked relationships
• Sideloaded relationships
• Embedded relationships
• Field inclusions
• Field exclusions
• Field-based filtering
• Field-based sorting
• Directory panel for your Browsable API
• Optimizations

DREST was initially written to complement Ember Data <https://github.com/emberjs/data>__, but it can be used to provide fast and flexible CRUD operations to any consumer that supports JSON over HTTP.
